Bernie Smith and a few followers praying for abortion outside city hall at lunchtime today. I liked the symmetry of this and used the flip screen on my FujiX100vi a much needed upgrade. I like the classic film neg look. Lots to learn but this is a promising start invigorating.

So this is going to happen. Katikati is a so called Ulster Settlement town when 80 families (approx 4000)artisans and farmers were brought to New Zealand 1870’s. I’ll be moochin and creating work with my on going exploration of identity. #iwanttobenominatednotkneecapped

Trump on whether Zelensky should cede territory to end the war: "He’ll have to do what he has to do, but his ratings, to put it mildly, are not very high. At some point you got to have elections too." Trump is gently pushing the Kremlin narrative: that Zelensky is illegitimate.

Great couple of days up in Mangawhai the first photo is my fav and very pleasing as I saw it on the way up and was able to get it on the way back. Always pleased when pre-visualised photos come out. #Mangawhai #Auckland #NZ

Bout a third is in the casserole in the oven and the rest will end up in me coz it goes off right? Once you’ve uncorked. And yeah this cheeky lil Cote du Rhône had a cork albeit the synfetic type. Happy hump day or summat

This portrait of Benjamin Franklin looks like he's waiting for his wife outside an M&S changing room when he spots you doing the same.

This is an irrefutable point re. Biden pardoning his son 👇

Splash of colour in the Ormeau Park on a grey morning. The day brightened considerably in the afternoon with some great news….dets to follow

Got some good news.

Parading up and down shouting various “slogans” holding this placard caught my attention. Demanding free speech did make me interject and tell him he is literally exercising that right. File under conspiracy theorist/rocket. #Belfast #Rocker #FujiX100T #88700acctuationsandcounting

Xmas filler for the Lego fans

That was a proper pea souper last night. #Belfast #East #Ballymacarrett

Happy Lancashire Day to all my Red Rose friends.

James Bond movies never show the part where the supervillain collects government subsidies to build his death tech.

Jokes about white sugar are rare enough, but jokes about brown sugar? Demerara

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

No posts no profile photo and no name other than numbers and a letter…straight block

Word of the Day is ‘gwenders’, from old Cornish dialect: a disagreeable tingling in the extremities (or no sensation at all) due to extreme cold.

Midnight Run one of those always watch films. Now on ch69 that’ll do reetly.
